I'm a scumbag netdecker, but even I occasionally tech in a kezan mystic or deathlord or annoyotron if I'm facing heavy bumrush agro. Is face hunter healthy for Hearthstone? Yes. It motivates netdeckers like me to actually try modifying my decks to suit "the meta". If someone just gets frustrated but never modifies their decks and quits playing because they hate losing, then they wouldn't have lasted long anyway.
If you haven't noticed it on your own, then there's no need to embark on a witchhunt. Who cares if the thing on the other side is a person or a machine? If it can pass the Turing Test (according to you), then I say just have fun with the game!
Instead of accusing 90% of legendary ranks of botting (and intentionally or unintentionally advertising bots by claiming they can get to legendary "easily"), have you considered that maybe now good players are reaching legendary faster because their winrate is slightly inflated by bots they get to play against on the way?
This. Inflating the number of total stars earned by introducing bots catapults average/above-average players into higher ranks than they previously were. This is especially true because the criteria for achieving legend is a fixed number of stars, rather than a percentage of the top end MMR.
